Mauritius - Second Private Sector Competitiveness Development Policy Loan Program

The development objective of the Second Private Sector Competitiveness Development Policy Loan Project for Mauritius is to strengthen the policy and institutional environment in Mauritius to support competitiveness and enterprise development. The operation will achieve this by supporting reforms in three integrated and mutually reinforcing pillars: 1) improving enterprise growth and competitiveness; 2) improving access to finance; and 3) promoting Information and Communication Technology (ICT) usage and e-Government reforms for increased efficiency and transparency gains. This Second Private Sector Competitiveness Development Policy Loan (PSC-DPL2), in an amount of US$15 million, is the second and the last in a series of two annual programmatic operations in support of the Government's medium-term reform program that centers on competitiveness and equity as its twin pillars. The series aims at strengthening the policy and institutional environment in Mauritius to support competitiveness and enterprise development. This DPL operation will continue to focus on accelerating reforms in support of private sector competitiveness by: a) supporting the growth of new business enterprises through demand driven business development schemes (BDS) and greater access to finance; b) making business exit easier; and c) promoting ICT usage and e-Government reforms for increased efficiency and transparency gains.

Mauritius - Second Public Sector Performance Development Policy Loan Program

The development objective of the Second Public Sector Performance Development Policy Loan (DPL) Project for Mauritius is to support improvements in the performance of the public sector in Mauritius by assisting the government to implement reforms within the following three pillars: 1) strengthening programs that support and empower the most vulnerable; 2) streamlining trade regulations and processes; and 3) improving human resource management in the civil service and the monitoring of State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) performance. The Government of Mauritius continues to diversify the economy to enable the country to achieve a higher income status in the medium term. Since independence in 1968, economic growth in Mauritius has been built on a long tradition of economic and institutional reforms. This DPL series supports the strengthening of the institutional, policy, and management tools required to address some of the challenges posed by these reforms. The fiscal position is improving, and the government achieved greater debt consolidation in 2012 than had originally been expected.
